Children ages 8 and up will join sewist Amie Otto for Christmas in July, a festive sewing camp filled with holiday cheer! Campers will create a variety of small, seasonal projects, including personalized stockings, decorative buntings, reusable gift bags, and handcrafted ornaments. Along the way, they’ll learn essential sewing techniques, from cutting and assembling fabric to stitching and finishing their creations. With hands-on guidance (max. 2 students per sewing machine), campers will build confidence in their sewing skills while making delightful decorations to bring home. This camp is perfect for all skill levels and a great way to get a head start on holiday crafting!
